Achievement

This is my inspiration for a couple of projects I’m working on now. There are 2 ways to do things:
- Build really complicated systems that do it all for you
- Build a simple system that’s scalable and uses cheap computing power or cheap human labor
The really complicated systems are nice once they’re done, but they’re not very scalable. But if you build a simple system, it can easily be adapted for other tasks and other projects.
So now I have 3 different parts of projects, and it’s being held by people all over the world. As for another project, I have a complicated system handling the work, but if the source of the data changes, then the system breaks. Humans are smart and can handle change - computer programs can’t.
